摘要:

在这里,我们提出的意见与先进的相机调查的哈勃太空望远镜的附近,过渡型矮星系KK 258 = ESO 468 -020。我们测量的距离为2.23 $\pm$ 0.05兆秒差距使用红巨星分支方法的提示。我们还检测到H $α$发射从这个贫气体矮过渡星系的速度$V_h$ = 92 $\pm$ 5 km s $^{-1}$或$V_{LG}$ = 150 km s $^{-1}$。在这样的距离和速度下,KK 258位于当地哈勃流轨迹附近,具有独特的速度$\sim$ 3 km s $^{-1}$。本文从色星等图出发,讨论了KK 258的恒星形成历史。根据FUV通量和H $α$通量,估计比恒星形成率分别为log[sSFR] = $-2.64$和$-2.84$(Gyr $^{-1}$)。KK 258的绝对星等为$M_B = -10.3$等,平均表面亮度为26.0等角秒$^{-2}$,氢质量为${\rm log}(M_{HI}) < 5.75 M_\odot$。我们比较KK 258与其他29个dTr-星系位于5百万秒差距从我们,并得出结论,它的属性是典型的过渡矮星。然而,KK 258距离它的重要邻居Sdm星系NGC 55有0.8 Mpc的距离,这样的空间隔离对于当地的过渡矮星来说是不寻常的。

英文摘要:

Here we present observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope of the nearby, transition-type dwarf galaxy KK258 = ESO468-020. We measure a distance of 2.23$\pm$0.05 Mpc using the Tip of Red Giant Branch method. We also detect H$α$ emission from this gas-poor dwarf transition galaxy at the velocity $V_h$ = 92$\pm$5 km s$^{-1}$ or $V_{LG}$ = 150 km s$^{-1}$. With this distance and velocity, KK258 lies near the local Hubble flow locus with a peculiar velocity $\sim$3 km s$^{-1}$. We discuss the star formation history of KK258 derived from its colour-magnitude diagram. The specific star formation rate is estimated to be log[sSFR] = $-2.64$ and $-2.84$ (Gyr$^{-1}$) from the FUV-flux and H$α$-flux, respectively. KK258 has the absolute magnitude $M_B = -10.3$ mag, the average surface brightness of 26.0 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ and the hydrogen mass ${\rm log}(M_{HI}) < 5.75 M_\odot$. We compare KK258 with 29 other dTr- galaxies situated within 5 Mpc from us, and conclude that its properties are typical for transition dwarfs. However, KK258 resides 0.8 Mpc away from its significant neighbour, the Sdm galaxy NGC 55, and such a spatial isolation is unusual for the local transition dwarfs.
